10.1.8 Combo port
At QX-S5524GP-4X1C, a SFP port (17S to 24S) port and a 10/100/1000BASE-T
autosensing Ethernet port (17T to 24T) are a combo port. Only one of these two ports can
operate at a time.
The two ports share one forwarding channel and one interface view. As a result, they
cannot work simultaneously. When you activate one port using
combo enable
{
copper

fiber
} command, the other port is automatically disabled.
